Directors Gordon, Speck In 'Baster' Talks

The Baster
"Blades of Glory" helming duo Josh Gordon and Will Speck are in final negotiations to direct Columbia Pictures' artificial insemination comedy "Baster."

Based on a short story by "Middlesex" author Jeffrey Eugenides, the comedy centers on a 40-year-old unmarried woman who decides to become pregnant by inseminating herself using a turkey baster and sperm from a married friend. Allan Loeb ("Things We Lost in the Fire") penned the screenplay.
